Bacon Roll Ups

Yields 25 servings.

1 (1 pound) loaf sandwich bread
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried parsley
1 pound bacon, cut in half

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet.

Cut the crusts off of the bread slices, then cut each piece of bread into three equal rectangles.

In a small bowl, combine cream cheese, garlic powder, and parsley. Spread a layer of the cream cheese mixture on each bread rectangle, and roll it up. Wrap a slice of bacon around each of the bread rolls and secure them with wooden picks. Arrange the roll ups on the prepared baking sheet.

Bake until the bacon is crisp, approximately 10 minutes.
